The cuts here would be the seams between the caps. Smooth and straight for a flush fit. Two passes will cut all the way through-I just have to be spot-on with the second pass. That's why I thought the larger blade on the table saw would be good.

Diamond blade on a 71/2" craftsman circular saw cuts well without much effort. Sure, a demo saw would be nice, but if I ran out and bought every tool for every purpose....., and renting one for just a couple of cuts isn't economical.

What about a skil saw with a diamond blade? I have one and use it frequently. It cuts deeper than a angle grinder.

Yup, and just make sure you plug it into a GFCI outlet.... because you need to pour water on the brick as you cut it...or you will have dust like you won't believe.. It also cools the blade.
Have a hose just running water over the cut at a trickle works best.

We use these saws in the rain while standing in the mud all the time. If you do get a shock it is only when the motor is running so you are sharing the load and not getting full value.
Most gfci only kick off when your extention cord falls in the water. And some don't kick off when you get a shock even if they pass the test

I would think it would be dangerous and scar the hell out of the table.Plus sending all kinds of dust into the motor.You know it will bind.A block is not going to run thru a tablesaw smoothly.
Use an angle grinder with a diamond blade and be done.Score them as deep as you can all around.Break it off and clean it up.Still a couple minute job an not taking a chance of screwing up a table saw.
